So on Friday the cabinet installer came and installed all of the cabinets except for the fume hood part that he can only install once he knows the specs that dictate how high the fume hood should be from the cook top.


Coming in from the side door we can see the window and in the far corner of the cabinets, that is where the dishwasher will go.


Looking back we can see the big square where the wall oven will go, and the gap in the upper cabinets to the left is where the fume hood piece will go.


And here are the cabinets that surround the fridge.


And here, the view from the living room. Note that there is a missing upper cabinet above the counter that will spill a little into the living room.

We found out on Friday that the cabinet installer would come back on Saturday, and he spent almost all of the time building the boxes that would fill out the top of each cabinet to join it to the ceiling.


Here is more of the finishing work. Oh, and our appliances arrived on Saturday also, so here you can see the fridge in its new home.


Our dishwasher came with this EnergyGuide which shows that the one we picked is below the low end of the scale in terms of efficiency and cost of operation.


The cabinet installer also put back our original sink and connected it in addition to installing the kick plate beneath all of the cabinets.

Today the electrician, plumber and the cabinet maker all showed up with the task of installed all of the remaining appliances, and to finish up making it a fully fledged operational kitchen. What will remain after today is to get the counter and to have the backsplash installed.
